Re: 02-12-13 In that case
The important question is, are all Montreal waitstaff really as dishy as this family of comics seems determined to imply?
(Oops, forgot the banana flambé incident. So at least one of these establishments employs at least one plump middle-aged man.)
Meanwhile, while Andy is evidently feeling firmly oppressed by the other two men, one wonders how Ruby will feel about being forced onto bloody fruit juice. She may be naive, but she's in her 20s and not American; she may well correctly feel that she'd be more than fine with a glass of wine.

Re: 02-12-13 In that case
Pffft, apple juice all the way.
I am actually a bit puzzled. Is that a waitress or a waiter? I'd say a she, but seems a bit unclear (face is quite female, but she would be pretty flat unless that clothing is highly unrevealing).
Anyway, SpiDrift, I'm unclear as to the meaning of "dishy" (some special British word?), but if it means young and attractive, well, that's what they usually hire...
Also, hard to scream "patriarchal phallocrat" at this girl(?), so that guy had to be male and a bit older to make the joke work.
Also, nice to see the comic around midnight my time. Do we also get Eerie Cuties soon?

Good advice, unless you're a Dalek.

Not every woman in the Ma3 universe is DiDi-shaped, you know. And I see a hint of a ponytail there, which makes this either a waitress or a hipster. The facial structure says waitress to me.Don Alexander wrote:I am actually a bit puzzled. Is that a waitress or a waiter?

Dishy; a dish. Delectable. And I've nothing against any individual good-looking waitstaff, but when that's all you see, I suspect that's the sole hiring criterion. So I'm going to be paying to subsidise some failed model's moisturiser habit, rather than getting efficiency, politeness, or knowledge of the menu.Anyway, SpiDrift, I'm unclear as to the meaning of "dishy" (some special British word?), but if it means young and attractive, well, that's what they usually hire...
Plus, when every restaurant in town has model-grade waitstaff, it says that there's not enough employment prospects in town for good-looking people.
Be fair; they've got him physically boxed in, they're both looming quite well (both being bigger than him), and Jerzy for one has a construction-worker physique.themacnut wrote:But apparently Andy has Gary-esque levels of spinelessness.

Re: 02-12-13 In that case
Jerzy works in construction and he has a sister so I imagine the intimidating brother is familiar territory and even Dillon could probably slap fairly hard so Andy is in a bit of a spot. Besides it's easy enough to say what we'd do in a situation like this, but most of us for the sake of being polite or not starting a fight in a fancy restaurant would just endure the awkwardness.themacnut wrote:You and me both.

I'm a little surprised how this is going. I thought Ruby would be uncomfortable, but the night is still young.

Re: 02-12-13 In that case
Ruby really does seem to be less messed up than she appeared at first. She has an issue with her sister, obviously, and she isn't very subtle about showing it, and Dillon discomforts and occasionally annoys her - but she actually tries to be polite to everyone except Amber, and to judge by what we've seen of her in the last few strips, she's perfectly capable of going out for dinner with a guy, accepting a gift with good grace, and, you know, chatting and smiling and being decent company. (It may help that Andy seems to be polite and not too pushy.) She's avoided romance and sex up until now, but it appears that, if she changes her mind about that, she shouldn't have too much difficulty forming relationships, once she gets the hang of the basic rules of the game.
Apart from (a) comedy and (b) Dillon's infinite capacity for being an arse, of course.
So what she makes of this situation could be interesting. From her point of view, she was just getting along fine with Andy, no pressure anywhere, and now Dillon and Jerzy are being all weird and making things difficult for no obvious reason. If she registers quite what they're doing to Andy, I can see her getting explosively annoyed, on principle.
Edit: And then, my Media Player throws up a Cardigans track - "I Need Some Fine Wine And You, You Need To Be Nicer":
Well here's a good man and a pretty young girl
Trying to play together somehow...
...
Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends
Till I go and kill the bottle,
I go off over any old thing,
Break your heart
and raise a glass or ten...

Re: 02-12-13 In that case
Amber is Ruby's sister so I can expect a certain amount of incivility. That's how siblings are.
